The San Antonio River that is. This is what's left of it after the reservoir
Spent a few days down around Hunter Liggett at a place called Whisper Canyon.
The hour or so drive from King City & back traveled through some pretty neat landscapes.
Lots of meadows, wildflowers, etc.
I spotted this location in the early morning when the light was harsh & planned on visiting at dusk.
I wasn't disappointed. While not an intense scene, it was pleasing with some nice muted colors.
Taken with a Pentax 6x7 MF, 75mm, f16, 1sec on Ektar 100.
An interesting observation, probably known to many, is the dynamic range of Ektar.
I had taken my usual ref shot for color, this time with the 5DMkII instead of the iPhone.
while the shadows & mid-tones were about at the same level, the sky was blown out on the DSLR with nothing to recover. Obviously I could have bracketed this for a DSLR shot.
Truth be told, I did cut it close on the shadows but there is still detail & color in them.
